It's not Thames Water's responsibility to keep Peckham Rye free of water, no. But the recent works designed to to hold water in the park: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly”, where undertaken to stop houses from flooding. And the increased risk of houses flooding is the result of a drainage and sewage system which are in dire need of upgrading / modernising, but which Thames Water have neglected. So yes, we are paying for their under investment over many, many years. Directly - for the works to the park which seek to mitigate this underinvestment and indirectly through the loss of amenity that flows from the park being waterlogged more frequently.
Aria helped us out this week. He replaced ballcocks in our loft tanks. These had caused a leak whilst we were away on holiday. He also installed a new radiator. Responsive to our requirements. Communication was really good, costs reasonable. Nice guy. Very happy to recommend.
Well she has resigned - so it makes a change from the weeks of denial before inevitable
but if we are digging up offences from decades ago, can we revisit Badenoch hacking an MPs account?
